CATHOLIC MAJESTY FERDINAND Vit. tconelude4 from our Paper o,l).e:ftel-:?a,:y c‘' This irrelevant objeaion having been 'got rid Of, M. Champagny.stated, that the Emperor could never be,,s.ure of Spain, in case of a new war with the Powers of the North;wliile ihe Spanish nation continued to be governed by a dynasty who must regret to see its elder branch expelled from the monarchy of France. ! " I answered; that In a' regular sySterri of things, such prepossessions never preiailed over the inter ; ests of States, and that' the political condud of Charles IV - . since the Treaty of Basle; afforded proof thar,Sovetaigns paid little regard to family. intesests, when they Were in opposition to the interests 6f their dominions; that the - friendship' between. Spain and France was founded ot - I'local ' , and - political consider ations ; that the topographical.sitoation'of the two kingdoms was of itself sufficient to demonstrate how important it was for Spiin to preserve a good under .standing with France, the only State on the Coati , vent of .ti - :urope. with which she has dire& and ver y, extensive relations,. and consequently that every rea son of pdlicy induced Spain to maintain a perpetual peace with France. Besides, what ground of suspi "cion'had.•the Emperor with respect to a nation who, .to considerations of interest, add the inflexible and . integrity with which at all pertorls, accord ihg to the admission of French writers themselves ; they - had , preser \ Ved thiir federative system ?• • added, that there were reasons no less import:- ant, why France should not, endanger the con tinu anee• of that harmony which prevailed since. the ,1 Treaty of Basle, with equal advantage to' herself and I to Satin; that the Spanish nation, whose generosity and affe4.-lion for their Sovereigns were proverbial, if from a principle of fidelity they had submitted to the caprices of despotism, - when covered with the veil of Majesty, would, from the operation of _the same principle, display their well-known valour, when they saw their independence and the security of their beloved Sovereign violated ; that if unfor tunately France should commit so atrocious an insult, that Power would lose an ally whose armies, fleets, and treasure had in a great measure contributed to hertriumphs ; that _England, which had in Vain at tempted to shake the good faith of, the Spanish Ca binet for the purpose of separating her from' France, would avail herself of such a conjuneture to dimi nish the force of her enemy and augment her own, by pacific relations with a Tower which she would assist with money and forces, by land and sea, in the glorious enterprise, of 'defending our independence, and the securitrof our King and natural Lord.; thht the feeble Col on ie s o f F rance wou ld not fi n the Anaritime forces of Spain employed in obstruthrig the plans of conquest of Great Britain ; and that the commerce of that - Power must inevitably come int 6 competition at the Spanish market with the French, which is now peculiarly favoured.' " Besides these considerations, having a dire& re lation to the interest of both Sates, I expatiated on others no less cogent, and connected with the cha ratter of the French Cabinet. • • I reminded the Minister, That on the 27th O&. last a Treaty was signed at Fontainbleau, wherein the Emperor guaranteed the independence and in-' tegrity of the Spanish nation as it then was; nothing had since occurred which could justify its infraetion on the contrary, that Spain had continued to add now claims' to the confidence and gratitude of the-French empire, as his Imperial Majesty himself had confess ed, by,tlic praises he bestowed on the good faith and constant friendship of his intimate and first ally. What confidence ; I 'added, can Europe place in her treatis with France; when she looks to the per-. fly with which that of the 27th O&. has been vio lated ? And what must be leer terror when she sees the captious means, the sedumi've artifices, and the false promises by which his Imperial MajevYlbas confined the King in the city of Bayonne, in order to despoil him of the Crown to which, with the inex pressible joy'of his people, lie has been called, by the fundamental laws of the kingdom; and the sponta neous abdication of his august father. Posterity will • not believe that, the Emperor. could have given . so : great a blow to his own reputation, the loss of which will leave no other means of concluding a war with him than , total destruation and extermination. • • " This was the state of the discussion, when the Emperor, who had overheard our c:niference, or- , dered us to enter his own Cabinet, where, to my .great - surprize, I was insulted by his Imperial Ma jesty with the infamous appellation of traitor, "upon no other ground, than that haying been Minister to Charles IV. I continued to serve his son Ferdinand VII. He also accused me, in an angry tone, of having maintained, in an official conference with Ge neral MOntion, that my Master, in order to his be ing King of Spain, did not stand in need'Of•the're .cognitioo of the Emperor, although that might be necessary in order to continue his relations with the 'French Government. His IMperial Majesty manifested' still greater irritation on account of my having said to. a tbreign Minister, accredited to the Court of Spain, that if the French army offered any violation to the :into- grity and independence of - the Spanish Sovereignly, 300,000 men would convince them that abrave . and generous, •nation was not to be insulted with itn punity... °After-this ill treatment which I hie with, which ,was as satisfactory to my own feelings, on -account.of the-real causes of it, as it was.painfill on account of the Royal Personage tin whose . interests were in es tion, his Imperial Majesty, with his natural aspe tityi' entered ii/W a / conversatioa upon the points which had alreadrbeeti discussed. He was not in sensible of the strength of my reasons, and the soli.; dhy. of the arguments by which I supported the rights of the king, hiS dynasty, and_the'whule na tion; • but his Majesty concluded by telling; , : me, I •have a system of poltepor my own; You ought to adopt more liberal ideas ; to be less susceptible on the pdint of honour, and iaot,sacritice. the prosperity. of Spain to the interest of the Bourbon family.' His Majesty, distrusting • the 'apparent -coirt placelley with which I received • the attention which he was Eleaied to show me; as- I was to ring Mare of trim, sent that upon the.

Both those demands were rejeticl by the Minister Champagny, tinder - the frivolous pretext that they 'were rneie matters of forth, beiP)g whwly uncofinecied with the essential object • 6,,f the nego:qa •tion.t " Seignor Labrador insisted oil the iMportahce of 'both the one and the other requisites, especially ut matters of such great consequence, a !ding, that w ith out them he could discusS rid subject, and that the King his master required them to viny the -instruc tions, if necessary; that had been giVen him ; but always in vain. Notwithstanding. this, - Seignor ,Champagny 'talked of the last propo'sitiens pt the , Emperor, which were somewhat ' different from those presented by Gen.-Savary, but' not less • irri tating and violent ; and he conoludeci .- with Seignor Labrador that the prosperity of Spain ant, hiSsown were at that moment within his power.

HL added, that to these two objects he had directed all his attention in. various Situe.ons.; and lastly, he said, that he readily. admitted .that his own.prosperity depended nn the issue, ,because his fidelity to the King of Spain, and to his native country, as welt as the reputation he 1,:.a 'acqUir:ed by the faithful 'dis charge Of his duty, were connected - with it.
